Export as a png without bleeds?

I have about 50 files with quarter-inch bleeds that I need to export as .pngs, but without the bleeds. I can't seem to find a setting that will allow me to do this. Am I missing something, or is this option just not available?

    Correct answer Ivana27146320vlvo

    I have the same issue. I think i's a bug.

    Exporting using artboard should not export the bleeds yet thats exactly what happen even in my 2019 version


    Hey I accidently found the solution.. I know.. a bit late. 

    First click on export for screens, uncheck the box that says "Include bleeds".

    I want to make this discussion go up in the feeds.

    I have the same problem. Here is what happens when you "export for screens"

    You just get the bleed.

     

    Now it's not crucial but if I have to set up the whole document format everytime I want to make an export to show the result to people I work with... You can hardly be less convenient. Adobe people, why not bringing good ideas to all the softwares at once?

    I mean, export options are pretty clear and good in Indesign.

     

    There is other things such as being able to slide the font size in Photoshop that are not in Illustrator, I don't understand why when you add useful functions to software you don't do it all at once.

    Here the discussion is from 2018 and it seems that despite all the updates, you didn't resolve it.

    I realise that I made a mistake but for some reason I can't delete my comment.

    The forum is not a good place for rallying. In the forum mostly volunteers try to help people solve their problems.

    Export for screens, even if you want to save them for print.

    You can choose which artboards you want to export with bleed using the range, and export again using the range to select artboards without bleed.

    Set the image resolution using scale, select resolution, and set your resolution.

    Ensure include bleed is checked off or not checked off depending on what you want.

    If you don't want JPG you can also select PNG, PDF or SVG.

    Hope this helps!

      I know this is not the answer you want, but...

      If that's a bug, I would record an action in PhotoShop and apply it to all the exports you made. Since they all have the same issue and the same size. The result should be very accurate

      Yes this is an issue the legacy save for web clips to the artboard, export to jpeg doesn't the workflow is to change the bleed in the document setting. Which isn't desirable TBH.

      Does it work when you first remove the bleed settings (set it to 0 (unit)) in the File > Document Setup dialog?

      In fact, you would then only remove the bleed guides, but the "real" bleed would still be there.

        It would probably work, but there are multiple artboards in these files, and the other ones need the bleed. You can't have different bleed settings for different artboards within one document.

        Delete them

        Export

        Set them up again.

        Hi,

        can you confirm the version off illustrator and OS you are using?

        Can you indicate as well, how was this bleed set up?

        Also did you create 50 separate illustrator files of 50 dartboards ion a single ai file?

        I tried to reproduce and it was exporting without the bleed (I used Save for Web (legacy) instead of just Export As...)

        A screenshot would help.

        The same issue happened when I exported using File>Export>Export As...

        It was OK when I used the legacy export (clip to dartboard checked)
